what’s up lovely people!

I’m just over here praising Jesus at 12:03am. I’ve been praying for a revival recently. I believe that the Lord is doing something powerful in our lives through this quarantine. We don’t see it yet but He’s doing something big. I just love seeing community come together in prayer over this. Seeing the nurses praying over the hospitals for healing, protection and peace. Oh, my heart. 

God has such an amazing purpose for this time we are in. It might be a stressful time for many but I believe God is going to bring a miracle out of this. I’ve seen Him move the mountains and I believe He’s gonna do it again! I see so much light already shining through the darkness. God is at work, He is moving! He is healing the ones affected by this virus, protecting those who don’t have it, redeeming the desperate, touching the broken hearted, raising the dead to life. He is making a way when there seemed to be no way. 

We see that we have no control, this whole time God was the only one in control and now that we aren’t in control of our lives, we can give it all to Him. We had big plans and God was like “hold up I’ve got even bigger ones!” Isn’t it crazy how we can plan our whole lives and than something like this happens and we have no control over anything anymore and we begin to realize that we never really were in control. Jesus is trying to show us that He’s the only thing we need. When the world around us is constantly changing, He is the one that remains the same through it all. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. I prayed for a revival and this is a revival! Thank you Jesus! 

update: I have $6,077, all thanks to you generous people for donating! The goal was to have $5,000 by July and I’ve surpassed that goal so thank y’all so very much for constantly supporting and praying for me! I still have $9,723 to go and the good Lord is going to provide as he always does! Due to corona we are no longer having training camp in July. Instead It will be September 5-16th and we will leave for the mission field directly after. 

If you feel called to donate you can still do so by going to https://lydiaallen.theworldrace.org. Thank you so much! 

Much love,
